My life is crazy! As a mother, photographer, full time employee, chef (well mostly my husband), maid (wait that is mostly my husband too) and bedtime singer (I am invading this my husband is the kids normal request). Before all this fueled my desire to be a photographer it began in high school… yeah you really don’t need to know how long ago that was. Back then I had to choose between photography or dance team…dance or photography, one would keep me in shape for 4 years and one would well I had no idea what photography would do for me in the future. And needless to say dance team won out so photography was pushed to the back seat.
A few years after I was married the “idea” of doing photography started to creep back in, and then I was pregnant with my 1st little one. Something about being pregnant made me want to capture every minute of his day/month/year, not just for myself, but for others too. Once I decided I wanted to take pictures, there was no stopping me. I could not quit talking about a new camera and all the great things I wanted to do with it! So my wonderful husband bought my first DSLR camera.
I became obsessed with classes, books, online research and taking pictures. I was intent on learning everything, every bit of what my camera was about. And 3 years later I FINALLY feel like me and my camera are friends! It was a process but a process that made me enjoy every minute. In college I was always the one that had a camera on hand, and now still the case, never leave home without a camera and a diaper bag.
That is what my pictures are about – capturing that second or millisecond of time that you can’t remember when asked, but when you see it on film, it brings back every detail of that moment. That smile, that frown, that laugh or meltdown, everything that makes a memories in our lives.
Enjoy my blog and I look forward to hearing from you!
